Section 247: Archibald

Sunlight pours down in the spacious side hall, creating a circle of light spots.

There are not too many bookcases and other arrangements in this room, the overall style is more casual, the whole body is mainly beige, and it is even softer under the sunshine color, which makes people can't help but want to squint comfortably and sleep like a lazy cat.

Norman sat on a beige couch.

The leather of the sofa is made of the skin of the green iguana, and the biggest feature of this leather is that it will change color because of the objects that the leather surface touches, and the dazzling effect is full, and the leather is very soft and comfortable, so it is a sought-after item in the circle of Hall nobles. Scarcity is expensive, because it is too sought-after, so the price of green iguana skin has been high, only the upper class nobles have the economic strength to enjoy, this music hall reception room is also available, it can be seen that the specifications of this reception room are not low.

Norman's right hand rested on the arm of the sofa, his gaze swept under his hand, and he expressed his amazement at the strange effect of the sofa leather under him slowly changing color.

Sitting across from him was a neatly dressed gentleman, the same man who had taken the lead in applauding Norman on the left floor of Hall One.

Now the gentleman looked over to Norman with a smile on his face, and spoke slowly.

“...... I'd like to invite you and your team to perform at the festival concert that starts in three days, and I hope the repertoire will be the same as "Victory". ”

The gentleman looked in his thirties, and seemed nothing special except that he was a little more elegant, but Norman, who had already spoken to him, knew the origin of this man—he was the mayor of Jebel Denna, the Marquis of Archibald Martinis. In Jebel Dana, the non-capital of Holc, this Marquis of Archibald is the supreme leader of the whole of Jebel Dana.

As the rulers of Jebel Denner, the Martines rule even back to the time of the Magic Kingdom, longer than the history of the United Kingdom of Augustus. And why Jebel Danner has become the well-known and most prestigious art capital in the Northland, it is said that the relationship with this ruler is indispensable.

The Martinis family has always been a family that loves art, and every generation of parents will also be artists, either in the field of art or in music, without exception. It is precisely because of this heritage and characteristics of the Martinis family that Jebel Danner has gradually become the art capital of today during their centuries-long reign, and by the time he inherited this generation, this Mr. Archibald was also an avid art lover, studying all kinds of disciplines. Today, as is customary, he came to Hall 1 to take a look around to see if there were any outstanding newcomers this year, but he didn't find a big treasure, and then Norman was invited to this reception room after a long day of talking to the group of judges.

These were all things that Archibald had said in the casual conversation between the two of them, and at the same time, he also learned a lot of information from Norman's mouth, such as Norman's name was "Alan Octavian", and the unprecedentedly shocking piece was composed by Mr. Allen, and the concept of "conductor" was also proposed by Mr. Allen originally.

When Archibald learned of all this, Archibald was full of praise for it, and unceremoniously expressed his praise for Norman, and then made the request just now.

"It should be there for everyone to appreciate the wonderful shock of it, and you and your team should be there to let people know that a new era has arrived!"

At this point, Mr. Archibald looked even more excited than Norman as a client.

This is understandable, after all, this major event that changed the history of the music industry happened at Jebel Danner, at the annual Golden Autumn Festival, if he had promoted this accidental event and officially launched it to everyone to know, Jebel Danner would have left a strong mark in the history of world music, and he Archibald Martinis would always be remembered by future generations!

Throughout the family history of the Martinis family, as a family, they may be famous, but how many people remember it when it comes down to each generation of family heads?

And he is different, as long as this happens, Archibald will become the most shining name of the Martines family, and become the representative of the Martinis family!

Of course, he can't just ask others to do something without paying them.

"And your performance sequence will be the opening ceremony of the concert, and this will be the opening performance of the concert!"

That's what Archibald was paying for.

It was a concert at the Golden Autumn Festival! An annual event in the music industry, and it was an honor for all musicians to be able to perform as a guest there! Every year, countless musicians fight to the death in secret for this honor.

But it wasn't the slightest temptation for Norman, and he didn't even blink an eyelid—he wasn't really a musician in the first place, and he really didn't care much about this glory. Besides, he's a person who has even been a saint, and he still cares about this bit of glory?

Norman didn't even take Archibald in front of him seriously, but only divided a small bundle of spirit to deal with, and more energy was used to study the magic pool.

He's still pouring magic into the mana pool.

He never stopped this movement, even during the fierce command just now, he was meditating to generate magic power while instilling magic into the magic pool, the only difference from now was that he was now putting more energy into studying the magic pool.

According to Norman's self-statistics, he has instilled a full 6 seas of mana into the mana pool from the beginning to the present, but the mana pool is far from full. It seemed to be a bottomless pit that would never-ending consume his magic, and it would come to an end. But this is not a bad thing, on the contrary, this is a good thing, it shows that the upper limit of the mana capacity of the mana pool is high, which means that the mana level of his external mage is high, and if this upper limit is high enough, it is not good that he can cast a forbidden spell just by relying on the daily accumulation of the mana pool and without bloodletting!

At that time, he will really be an Origin Mage in a general sense!

Lancelot really didn't lie to him......

Of course, he doesn't know exactly what will happen now, after all, this finished product is made for the first time today, and he doesn't know the real performance, what the actual experience is like when using it, whether there will still be a magic output threshold, etc.

Not to mention Norman, even the Templars, the designers of the magic pool, did not know, and he still needed to constantly experiment and explore it himself.

The only thing Norman knows now is that the physical properties of the mana pool are very stable, and after the mana of the 6 mana seas is instilled, the feedback from the mana pool to his skin has not changed at all, and there is no abnormality such as heat, coldness, distortion and deformation, which is good news.

Archibald, who was sitting opposite him, didn't know what the music master in front of him was thinking, and when he saw Norman's calm face after hearing his conditions, his eyelids didn't blink, which made him chuckle in his heart, but it was also generally in his expectation, after all, the master who could change the times and create this kind of divine comedy was unlikely to be the same as ordinary people, which was normal.

So he threw out the next condition.

"Also, regardless of how the judges rate you, I guarantee that everyone who is participating in today's show will receive Jebel Danner's residency. ”

This is completely, even a fool should know that the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe will definitely get Jebel Danner's residency when he sees the scene in Concert Hall 1 just now, so Norman reacted a little now, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he glanced at Archibald.

Is the ruler of the capital of the arts so anxious about his IQ when he utters such nonsense? Or do you think his IQ is in a hurry?

But then Archibald added.

"Permanent Residency!"

Norman's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little surprised.

During the days he spent with the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe, he heard what they said about Jebel Danner, and he also knew a lot about Jebel Danner, especially the residency that the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe was most concerned about.

Every year, the Golden Autumn Art Festival is a period of change of residency, where some residents lose their right of abode, and some outsiders win their right of abode, which has a time limit, the longer it is three years, five years, and the shorter it is one year, the longer the year, the more difficult it is to obtain, and there is a very special right of abode, that is, permanent residence.

Since it is said to be a permanent residence, it will naturally not be lost at the Golden Autumn Art Festival, and its source is the artist's artistic achievements.

Only those truly great artists who are nationally acclaimed, or who have made great achievements in the field of art, are likely to obtain permanent residency, and the conditions are very harsh, so far the entire Jebel Danna has not had more than three digits of permanent residency, and now Archibald has released more than twenty at once?

Although it didn't benefit everyone in the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe, it included more than 20 in one go, which is already very remarkable, and I believe that those guys would faint happily if they knew.

But Norman was only quite surprised, and there was no element of excitement in it.

He makes music purely for the sake of background music, not because he loves art, and now that his purpose has been reached, he will probably not be so enthusiastic about music for the next period of time, and naturally he will not care about this permanent residency. It's as useless to him as shit as a few quintalans.

But Norman agreed, "Okay." ”

His main task for a while recently is to study the magic pool, test its various properties, it is not suitable to run around, he will not leave Jebel Danner for the time being, and Chen Qinghe has disappeared and has not appeared until now, he also wants to find out the whereabouts of this partner who taught him the "Funeral Heart Sutra".

Looking for someone in Jebel Danner, naturally there is nothing more efficient than getting the help of the mayor, so he might as well agree to come down first, anyway, the performance is just a trivial matter, and he can record it again when the time comes, if the effect is better, it can completely replace today's version as his future background music, so why not?

"But I also have two conditions, I hope that Mr. Marquis you will promise me. ”

Archibald was overjoyed when he heard that Norman had finally agreed: first, Norman agreed to perform at the opening of the festival, and his wish to go down in history was basically achieved, and secondly, since Norman had agreed to the permanent residency he offered, it was likely that this unborn music master would live in Jebel Danner forever in the future, and at that time, Jebel Danner might no longer be the art capital of the Northlands, but might develop into the art capital and art mecca of the entire kingdom!

At this time, let alone two conditions, ten or eight are not a problem, so Archibald agreed with a mouthful: "Mr. Allen, if you say it, I will definitely agree!"

Norman then said, "I like to be quiet, and I hope that no one will disturb me without my permission." ”

On the one hand, he has to study the magic pool for a while, and he doesn't have time to deal with too many people, which will reduce his research efficiency, and on the other hand, because he doesn't want to have the opportunity to meet with the people taught by the Father.

Although the location of Jebel Danna and the route of the envoys to Santa Vita are in the opposite direction, and there is no risk of meeting people who know him here, it is better to be careful in everything, and the people of the Father God will not be seen if they can.

Norman's request was normal, and Archibald immediately agreed, "No problem!" and Norman said the second condition.

"Also, I have been separated from a friend of mine since I came to Jebel Danna, and there has been no news so far, and I hope that Mr. Marquis you will help me find the whereabouts of this friend. ”

It's just a matter of finding someone, it's even simpler, Archibald replied more happily than before, "Okay, as long as this friend of yours is still in Jebel Danner, Mr. Allen, I'll find him!"

After the two negotiated the conditions, the matter was finalized.

In order to trap this group of people just in case, Archibald efficiently prepared more than a dozen houses for the people of the Little Chrysanthemum Art Troupe in Jebel Danna City to live in temporarily, but Norman still did not move out of Delvik, because he still had to study the magic pool for a while, and if something went wrong with the magic pool, he still needed to discuss the solution with Delvik.

And just like that, the three days passed quickly.
